The Inart 8044 No. 50 50mm brush (110799019) is the largest size in this line, with soft synthetic polyester bristles that cover larger areas with fewer strokes than the smaller sizes in the same range would require to achieve the same result. It is suitable for applying primers, varnishes, and painting backgrounds and large surfaces in oil, acrylic, or gouache, leaving few visible brushstroke marks in the final finish, even in large areas. The short, flat wooden handle with a lacquered finish maintains a comfortable grip despite this larger bristle size and slightly higher weight. It is ideal for those who already own the smaller sizes in the 8044 line and need a larger brush for backgrounds and large surfaces for daily work in a studio or school.
